Starting the export

In the menu on the left, in the PROJECT CONFIGURATOR section, click Export selected projects.

Select the projects that you want to export (to select more than one, use the CTRL key in Windows, or COMMAND key in macOS.)

Select Configuration and data below the list of projects, and click Next.

Export options

Next, you will choose export options.

When migrating projects, the most important options are related to exporting custom fields and users.

Filtering custom fields – Select this option to migrate only the custom fields that are used by your exported projects. It'll save you time.

User/group export options – Choose a way to export your user data:

Full export: This is the default option. If a username is anywhere in the exported configuration, the add-on will try to find and add it to the exported items. If the user is not valid, the export will halt with an error.

Ignore invalid users: If the username is not valid, the user will not be added to the exported items. The username will still appear as component or projectlead, and will be a part of different schemes in the exported file. In these cases, however, the export will not halt. Currently, the add-on can detect an invalid username in two cases:

When it can't find a user with that name

When the user has an invalid email address (it does not conform to the pattern "X@Y" where X and Y are non-empty strings)
